Clownfish

Clownfish (anemonefish)

The Clown Anemonefish is highly adapted to its environment, striking up one of nature's most unique partnerships as a defence mechanism. Juveniles develop an immunity to certain types of sea anemone, within the tentacles of which they hatch. However, it's a short-lived mode of protection, as this immunity needs to be regularly maintained, seemingly wearing off if the fish leaves its host anemone for as little as an hour.

Blue Tang

The familiar and friendly Regal Blue tang is renowned for its distinctive royal blue body and tail. They are also commonly known as Palette surgeonfish and the Hippo tang. Regal Blue tangs can grow up to 20-30 centimetres in length and are typically found amongst coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific Oceans, East Africa, Japan, Samoa, New Caledonia and Australia. Juveniles mostly feed on plankton while the diets of the adult tangs are omnivorous, feeding on plankton and algae.

Moray Eel

Moray Eels

Our Coral Atoll is home to three species of Moray Eel - our Giant Green Morays, Honeycomb Morays and our Peppered Moray. These large ambush predators are typically found in and amongst the coral and rock to keep their surprisingly squishy bodies safe from predatory sharks. They also use these rocks as a hunting ground, waiting for small fish to swim past before snapping them up with their TWO sets of jaws.
